"Plus, when your dad came back from Vietnam, he earned some money. He was the first in the village to buy a house in the county town and the first to drive a four-wheel vehicle. His first car was a Lexus, I think it was called a 350, but I forgot. It was an entry-level luxury car, costing around four to five hundred thousand back in 2007 — the year you were born. That type of car, driving into the village, made it impossible for anyone to look down on our family."
"Wow, Dad was that wealthy back then."
Spending four to five hundred thousand on a car in 2007, had the others in the village started driving 125s yet?
Don't underestimate the 125; just a motorcycle in the countryside nearly twenty years ago — not every household had one, let alone four wheels.
